I've decided to change up the training format for the classes.  I'm doing this for a few reasons:

• I'm not satisfied with our current levels of strength nor our current progression.
• I'm not satisfied with our competency on some of the more technical lifts.
• Overall I feel like things are stagnating a little bit.

I don't blame this on anybodys' lack of effort or motivation.  Far from it.  You guys have been giving 100% when you come in.

To counteract this, our workout days will fall into 3 general formats.

• Metabolic conditioning only (what you think of when you think of a Crossfit workout)
• Pure strength days.  I'm changing this so that we will do 2-3 lifts on these days instead of just one.
  
• A mix where we start off w/ 2-3 lifts and then do a quick metcon at the end, like we did for Wednesday's workout.

I've gotten my ideas for this from Coach Reeve at Wake as well as the Performance Menu.  I've been following the WOD there for the last few weeks and have been pretty happy w/ things.  You can go there to see more examples of a mixed workout.

Let me know what you think.
